Our sources at Samsung LCD whispered to us a few weeks ago that Dell will feature a 27" LCD this fall with a 1920x1200 resolution.

We got confirmation of this rumor earlier today from former Tom's Hardware editor Vincent Alzieu that Dell has also confirmed the upcoming display to him. In a recent conversation, Alzieu claimed "the 2707WFP will be here in October." Of course, he was talking about France in particular, and a US launch may be even closer. You can find the rest of his thoughts about the upcoming display on his website, BeHardware.com.

Samsung LCD is currently the only display manufacturer with plans for a 27" WUXGA LCD panel, the LTM270M1. The S-PVA panel is a true 8-bit design with a claimed response time of 8ms gray to gray. For all intents and purposes, the display is identical to the Dell 2407WFP now available via the Dell USA website -- Samsung makes the 24" WUXGA panel found in that display as well. However, the 27" panel has a less dense 0.303mm pixel pitch which is not the most attractive pixel width we've seen.

A couple of months ago, Dell made a coupon error where a coupon for 55% off of their Laptop Covers was applying to everything on the site. I used that coupon, placed the order through my Dell Preferred Account line of credit for an additional 2% off, and the monitor was delivered two days later.

That coupon was where? Online? Could you forward your cached page to the rest of us plez? I would love to add a 2nd 2405 for ~$400. Then the only question is... what insane product goes in the middle between the 2? And what GPU? One of these days some developer somewhere is going to remember that flight sims where once profitable and cool. And now that the multi-pseudo-wraparound display is sorta-kinda-affordable, perhaps this is a good time to be working on a new realease (wink) especially if it doesnt suck (winkyer). I predict someone will develop the 'envelope' display here shortly... a 90" curved LCD display that just kinda, envelops you. What was the expiration date on that coupon? Id like to use it in Nov 07.
